I am having a few quanderies in these moments about word forms and
meanings.

1) tlasotlaloni - why add l with -oni? (tlasohtla, verb, to love,
tlasotlaloni, adjective lovable)

2) icnelilia -  Which adjective, icno or icniuh, forms with the verb
nelihui to mean "give unto someone."

3) imoteicnelih-tzin.  Principally, what happens in the reflexive?  But,
in general ????????.  I have taken a stab with "your have given unto Men,"
but it sounds a bit awkward, so say the least.


Any, any help would be greatly appreciated.

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more
grief. Eccl 1:18

To realize that our knowledge is ignorance, this is a noble insight. To
regard our ignorance as knowledge, this is mental sickness.  Only when we
are sick of our sickness, shall we cease to be sick.  The Sage is not
sick, being sick of sickness; This is the secret of health.  TTC 71
